Honey and Ellie enjoyed their latest trip away to Builth Wells in mid-Wales and an overnight stop in Worcestershire en route.

The weather though forecast very wet managed to hold itself back to grey skies and intermittent drizzle, at least until we were on our way home, which was something of a relief, though the show car parks were soggy underfoot and the officials well-prepared with waterproof jackets and large umbrellas.

Honey took second place in the Graduate Bitch class, and Ellie was pulled out into the last six in her first attempt at a Limit class, which was quite satisfying.

Judge was Mrs Phyl Bailey (Wingdrumble)
